Don’t worry if you are not an artist! This assignment requires you to consider and experiment with expressing a narrative visually, not to make art. You will have the option of constructing a creative narrative or a memoir depicting a transformational personal experience.
Before you begin, you will draft a one or two page proposal or outline that you will share with me (February 21). Next, you will bring a rough draft of your Graphic Novel/Comic to class to workshop, and that draft and your participation in workshopping will be 10% of your final grade (March 2). The final draft and your class presentation of that draft will count 20% (March 7). Your presentation should not only briefly describe your narrative (content), but also explain the way you chose to illustrate it and why (form). Since we have fifteen presenters, each presentation should only take about 3 minutes. I suggest you use PowerPoint, Prezi, or Google Slides, so all of your classmates can see your images as you present.
*I am going to ask for 2 brave volunteers to present on March 5 to ensure that we have enough time for the rest of the presentations on March 7.
